  1. Making a Web page At UK

  2. HTML • HyperText Markup Language • a web page must be written in this language • Browsers know how to interpret it to display the page properly - color, pictures, lines, fonts, tables, etc. • Easiest way to create it is to save a file in MS Word "File / Save as Web page"

  3. MS Word and HTML • When you save it, Word will save the file as extension .htm. • It also creates a folder named with the same name as the file and "_files", like "debbykeen_files" and "debbykeen.htm" • This folder contains various image files and other items that go with a Web page • Both need to be in the same directory to be viewable

  4. Getting your file(s) to the Web Server • In general, you need to put the html file and folder where the Web Server programs can find them • That will be a different location on different systems • Common locations are folders called HTML or public_html or www

  5. The Web Server at UK • You can interact with the UK web server via your Lockerspace • The process is different depending on whether you are LOCAL or REMOTE with regards to the Lockerspace • Generally, local = on campus and remote = off campus

  6. Setting permissions of www • New this semester • Before you can view your web pages, you must set the permissions on the www folder • This can be done from sweb.uky.edu • Your TA can help you with it in open lab this week

  7. Local Access • If you are on a machine in a SCS Lab on campus, you can access your Lockerspace as any other drive (L:) • Create a folder on L: named www if it doesn't already exist (at the root of your L drive) • Drag and drop your htm file and folder to that www folder • Your page is ready to view!

  8. Remote Access • This is more complicated but allows you to modify your page from anywhere you can get a connection • Using a Web browser, go to sweb.uky.edu and login with your account • Use the links and menus to transfer (upload) your htm file and folder to the www folder • Your page is ready!

  9. Viewing your web page Locally • Locally • this means the file is on your machine • you can use Windows Explorer or a browser with File / Open File • This is no different for htm files than for any other kind of file and is only possible for you, the owner of the account

  10. Viewing your web page Remotely • Start up a web brower - Internet Explorer or Opera or Firefox, etc. NOT Windows Explorer! • Give the URL of http://sweb.uky.edu/~userid/filename.htm • This allows anyone anywhere to look at the file, all they have to do is know the URL

  11. Developing a web page • If you view your page and see it needs revision, the process is: • you load the htm file into Word • make your changes and save them as .htm • don't forget you have to copy your local copy of the .htm file back to the web server location ("www") • tell the browser the URL or to refresh the page
